Bulk actions save you time. You can share, delete, or duplicate more than one canvas simultaneously.

Learn more about Stacks below.

Rearrange Artwork

Arrange your Gallery exactly how you like it.

Moving artwork around is easy. Tap and hold on a thumbnail to lift it out of the grid, then drag the thumbnail to your desired location. Lift your finger to drop it.

Pro Tip

Move multiple items at once by picking up one canvas, then tapping other canvases to pick them up too.

Rotate artwork

You can change the orientation of a canvas after you’ve created it.

Fix sideways and upside down canvas previews. Hold two fingers on the thumbnail and rotate until your artwork is the right way up.

Rename artwork

Give your artwork the perfect name.

Under each artwork thumbnail you’ll see a title. New artworks appear as Untitled Artwork by default.

Tap the title to bring up the keyboard, and get creative.

Stacks

Group your artwork into Stacks to keep your Gallery sorted, clean, and easy to navigate. Stacks looks like a pile of layered thumbnails.

Create a Stack

You can create a Stack in two ways: using Select mode, or using drag and drop.

In Select mode, tap multiple artworks to select them, then tap More > Stack.

You can also drag and drop an artwork thumbnail on to another thumbnail to merge them into a new stack. When you've dragged the first artwork over the top of another, the bottom artwork will turn blue. This allows you to drop the top artwork onto it to make a Stack.

Adding artwork to a Stack

To drag and drop an artwork onto an existing Stack, use the same method as above. Except you must hold the top thumbnail for a moment longer until the Stack flashes blue twice. The Stack will open up, allowing you to drop your held artwork anywhere among the thumbnails inside it.

You can Stack multiple artworks at once using bulk artwork actions.

Moving artwork out of a Stack

To move artwork out of a Stack, tap the stack to enter it. Pick up one or more artworks then tap the Stack return button in the top left of the tool bar ( < Stack ) with another finger. Now drop the items back in the Gallery.

Alternatively, drag the items over the Stack return button to bring them back to the Gallery.

Rename a Stack

All Stacks are named Stack by default. Rename a Stack the same way you rename an artwork: ​tap the title to show the keyboard and rename.
